We know the MLC-Cass is on the way and Mercedes already previewed the design. The MLC will be to the M-Class what the BMW X6 is to the X5. An AMG variant makes logical sense considering that the drivetrain of the M-Class will be shared and you can see the proof of the AMG variant in the pictures below. We pretty much know exactly what this will be with all wheel drive, an automatic transmission, and an M157 twin turbo V8 under the hood in a ~550 horsepower state of tune.

The wheels, suspension, and bodywork of course get the AMG treatment. Expect a debut next year in Geneva and for the MLC63 AMG (unless they change the name to M-coupe, you never know with Mercedes these days) to go on sale as a 2016 model.

I think this looks good, it's got a beefy stance to it. My only concern after seeing those pictures, is how the driver is sitting in the car, it makes it look a little cramped inside; but he could just have an awkward driving position.
